On this week’s Glitch Tape, we time travel (my favorite thing) to July 1995, exactly 30 years ago, with an issue of LIFE. This is the absolute dawn of the Information Superhighway and even the personal computer as a Thing. I mean, now it’s in our pocket, but at one time, the entire concept of the “Net” had to be explained. We discover how Apple pitched the idea via a TWO PAGE advertisement -- three columns of text on EACH PAGE. There’s a little snapshot of MJ and Lisa Marie on their one year anniversary. And finally, we dive into the history and mythos of Pocahontas – both the real woman as well as the Disney character.
Check out imagery from this episode on my instagram or bluesky. And if you're in the Boston area, you can now get tickets for the ThotBot Implantation Center, an immersive and interactive installation paired with a multimedia concert (and also the most popular ThotBot Episode). Opening in Somerville, MA, in October 2025!
